Best place for custom dice

[jbear]

I got some very nice frosted pink dice for my wife from chessex... the unicorn, I'm afraid, that beats me.

Good luck!

No, they had custom d4's, 12's, 20's, etc... at customdice, I guess you didn't watch the video.

I kind of fast-forwarded through it, and all I saw were d6s :-\ I must have missed the frames with the other die sizes; sorry!

I guess I'll have to email these other places as well and get quotes from all of them Thanks!

On the topic of custom dice, I've been wanting a nice set of jade d10s for a while. "Normal" size, cost not much of an issue.

Where should I look?

Thanks, -- N

I think he wants REAL Jade dice, not imitation, or "looks like" Jade.

I know someone who collects such dice, I'll ask him if he knows of a source for Jade dice. Do you want just d10's? How many?

Yeah, real. And d10s preferably, since they'd be used in conjunction with Exalted. (Mua-ha-ha!)

I've got a set of little Dwarven Stone d10s, and they're nice feeling, but I want something bigger (= easier to read), where the font used for the numbers is very clear. The ones I've got make the 9 look a bit too much like the 2.

Ahh. Sorry.
What about these then? $40 a set? Not 100% sure what "real" jade looks like as opposed to jade colored stone.

Stone Dice Green Jade 14mm Set and Bag - Stone Dice Sets

Those look to be "real", not sure if its really Jade or maybe serpentine. The swirls make me think real, but very low grade, Jade. High grade would look like glossy dark apple green pieces.


To give an idea of the broad range of "crap" to pretty good:

Jade Specimens

The one on the bottom left is the highest grade there, but is still far from the best grade.

Well it looks like Chris has a link to lower grade Jade, but if you would like to find something better grade I'll let you know what my friend tells me about his sources. How many you looking for?

Stone Dice Green Jade 14mm Set and Bag - Stone Dice Sets

No worries. I mean, the unicorn dice under discussion originally didn't involve real unicorn.

The dice at that GM Dice place look pretty nice, and they're cheap compared to the few other jade dice I've managed to find previously!

I'm looking to by 10-20 d10s (for Exalted), plus maybe some assorted D&D dice -- but the Exalted dice can all be the same color of stone, while the D&D dice need to be distinct, so I can roll several attack rolls at once fairly.

My D&D dice wishlist would be:
4x d6 (green)
4x d6 (all one color that's not green)
4x d20 (each a different color)
... plus maybe some d12s or d8s? I dunno.

The Exalted dice I want for sure. The D&D dice are a maybe.
